Caloocan Some folks said that Caloocan got

its name from a Tagalog word “lo-
ok” (bay) because it is near to
Manila Bay. Others insist that it
was named after another Tagalog
“sulok” (corner) because before,
the place was located at the
corner where the old towns of
Tondo and Malabon met.
Therefore, the name of the place
is a mixture of the word “kasuluk-
sulokan” which means “innermost
area”.

Caloocan is known as the

Makasaysayang Lungsod
(Historic City). Their claim of
being a historic city has a basis.
This was the place of the
Katipuneros, a secret militant
society formed during the Spanish
colonization in the country. The
place served as their main
meeting place and history also
said that this was the place where
the members of the Katipunan
made their historic “Unang
Sigaw” which served as the
starting point for the early Filipinos
to carry an arm against their
oppressors
